1998 Buick Regal GS review from North America
"Reliable, quiet, subtle luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC at 125,000 (I use AC 24/7), Tension pully gear for supercharger 85000, right wheel hub and tie rod 138000. Nothing else. Very good reliability. Cheap to fix. Buick dealers very trustworthy.
General comments?
Just polish up from time to time and looks new again. Buick is very reliable from my experience with three cars in my lifetime. Still have two. Two Chevy trucks were high maintenance junk, but that was in the late eighties. All manufacturers are doing better, particularly Buick.
